In fact, there is only one content on Diao Chan's letter: In Xiangyang City, His Majesty was killed, and the shadow investigated several times, but he still had no clue.

Liu Xie is now a pawn under Ma Chao's house arrest, although Ma Chao's attitude towards him is very complicated, but if he really dies in the assassination, Ma Chao will not be too sad. However, things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, Xiangyang was initially decided, but such an assassination occurred after he sent troops to resist Sun Ce, and the target was still the dignified Emperor of the Han Dynasty. This makes Ma Chao no matter how calm he is, he can't wait to ignore it.

Fortunately, the overall situation of the battle of Jiangdong has been decided, and Liu Bei and others gathered their subordinates and returned to Xiangyang first. Ma Chao did not hesitate at the moment, and the army marched into Xiangyang and sat in person in charge.

Back at the mansion, Diao Chan was already waiting at home, and when he saw Ma Chao for the first time, he frowned lightly and said in a deep voice: "Husband, in Xiangyang City, I am afraid there are other spies." ”

"What about the Shadows?" Ma Chao heard Diao Chan say the word 'and' clearly, that is, during the time he was gone, Diao Chan had already let the shadow start a removal operation. It's just that the last nail was too well hidden, and it wasn't discovered until he attacked Liu Xie.

"The Shadow has acted, but for a few days, nothing has been found, and the matter has reached a stalemate." Diao Chan carefully untied Ma Chao's robe, the tacit understanding between the husband and wife has long been accustomed to it, Ma Chao was sitting in the right position at the moment, and when he reached out and touched Shang Wen's Biluochun.

This is what Diao Chan has prepared for him a long time ago, Ma Chao took a sip, only felt the tranquility of the tea fragrance, and his consciousness was not yet fully focused on this assassination incident: "Cicada, you have been in charge of the Shadow for many years, and you have already had an opinion on such events. Let's not say how treacherous this incident is, but who can benefit from this incident, and know what the people behind the scenes have in mind......"

Putting down the teacup, Ma Chao waited for Diao Chan's answer, but then looked up and saw Diao Chan's pretty face as if he had seen an idiot, he was stunned at first, and then he wanted to suck his mouth: If the general trend is clear today, the forces that want to defeat Ma Chao are clear at a glance. Yanzhou Cao Cao should be the first, the edict in Ma Chao's hand is the sharp blade in Cao Cao's throat, Ma Chao will not abolish the emperor for a day, and Cao Cao will not be at ease for a day; It is also possible for the newly defeated Jiangdong, if this assassination can be launched as soon as possible, then with Zhou Yu's surprise attack on Xiangyang, it will definitely make the **** army on the front line break in one battle.

Other forces, Yizhou Liu Zhang's self-protection is still insufficient; Although Liu Bei has a lot of ambitions, after all, he is still attached to his command at this time, and he will not be so short-sighted before he becomes a climate.

In other words, it is difficult to distinguish between those who can benefit from it. The only way left is to start from the means.

But as soon as Ma Chao asked this question, the sadness on Diao Chan's face increased even more: "Your Majesty's assassination is the same as Liu Biao's assassination. ”

"Poisoned too?!" This news immediately moved Ma Chao, and he was poisoned, and only people in person could do it. That is to say, this murderer is hiding next to Liu Xie, and the people around Liu Xie, except for Cao Jie and others sent by Cao Cao some time ago, are all henchmen of the Ma family.

On the surface, the incident became clearer and clearer, and Cao Cao sent people to sneak into Liu Xie's side and poison him, causing Liu Xie to be bedridden. Once Liu Xie died, the world believed that Ma Chao, the king of Yong, kidnapped the Son of Heaven to Xiangyang, with the intention of not being subordinate, assassinated and killed the Son of Heaven, and coveted the throne. In this way, no matter how Ma Chao takes out the edict at that time, Cao Cao will use it as a talking handle and cover it up in a word.

But is that really the case?

Ma Chao rubbed his temples, even if he wanted to experience the warmth of going home more, his reason was still irreversible and fell into the political storm. He immediately empathized, and quickly shook his head, denying this speculation: Cao Cao was the most eloquent person he had ever seen, although he was also perfect in strategy, but as a prince, he was more focused on the overall situation. Now the Ma and Cao families are in the recovery period of recuperation, and the progress of the Cao family is obviously slower than that of the Ma family. If Cao Cao is really a person who is obsessed with the small way, then it is inevitable that there will be a very harsh result: the war between Ma and Cao is about to begin!

Does Cao Cao have the confidence to defeat the Ma family?

No.

Even, he didn't even have a place to borrow strength: Jiangdong returned this time and took care of himself; Not to mention Yizhou, if Cao Cao really did this trick just to get rid of a cloth and belt edict, then it would be unwise to use Yan, Xu, and Henan to fight against Majialiang, Yong, Si, And, Hebei, and Youzhou!

"It shouldn't be Cao Cao......" Ma Chao finally shook his head and said this.

"The concubine didn't think it was Cao Cao, Liu Xie's murder this time was too strange, and the murderer's actions were even more seamless, without the slightest flaw. The concubine later ordered the shadow to carefully investigate all the people who handled Liu Xie's diet, and there was no suspicious person......" Saying this, Diao Chan pondered for a moment, but then his face turned solemn, and he continued to say in a completely subordinate tone towards Shangguan's business: "The concubine suspects that Liu Xie's poisoning and murder this time was a bitter ploy directed and acted by him!" ”

"Bitter Meat Trick?" Ma Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head, at this time, Zhou Yu didn't know where to recuperate from his injuries, and Huang Gai was also doing well as his general. Even the real bitter meat trick has not been staged, how could Liu Xie poison himself to play?

But Diao Chan's face did not change in the slightest, but became more and more condensed. Ma Chao looked at her and felt that Diao Chan seemed to imagine himself as a robot at this time, and continued with no emotion: "What if Liu Xie is unwilling and wants to win a husband on another battlefield? ”

This kind of rhetorical question, Diao Chan usually says it with her amorous charm. Because even if she really said it, then Ma Chao would be addicted to her boundless allure. But this time, Diao Chan didn't have that kind of coquettishness for half a minute, and that monotonous and depressed tone also made Ma Chao's heart suddenly depressed, because he suddenly realized the reason why Diao Chan was so weird!

The source of this reason is in the code words of Diao Chan's words!

There are only two battlefields in a man's life, one is for career and the other is for feelings. Traveling to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, his career is naturally to dominate the Han dynasty and build immortal feats, and on this battlefield, Ma Chao has used sharp and vertical means to trample Liu Xie on the soles of his feet, crushing his arrogant heart into powder!

But aside from this troubled era, Ma Chao and Liu Xie have another battlefield. That battlefield is the most unpredictable and elusive. And, most of the time, it's a cruel place where you try your best to succeed.

The name of that battlefield is called Love Field.

Since Liu Xie has been defeated on the battlefield, is it possible for him to want to overpower Ma on the battlefield of love? Since the three of them are all people in this world, will the grievances and hatreds between them in their previous lives be dissipated in this time and space?

With Ma Chao's understanding of Liu Xie, he knows that the answer is yes.

In his previous life, he was rich and handsome, and he had the pride of snatching people's hearts and then abandoning them like a shoe, if he hadn't lost all the battlefields, he wouldn't have recognized the reality.

After the crossing, Ma Chao, after experiencing the gentle training of women such as Yun'er, Han Ying, Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Liu Yue, Fu Shou, Wang Huayu, and Mi Jin, has long since changed his understanding of women's emotions. He knows that although women's emotions are complex and changeable, one of the inherent characteristics in genes is sympathy for weak motherhood - if Liu Xie is really a bitter plan, it can be said that Da Qiao, who has also experienced vicissitudes, is very likely to be involuntarily emotional to Liu Xie. Not to mention, between the two of them, there is already this section of entanglement that is constantly cut and messed up has not yet ended!

As a result, at this time, Ma Chao thought of the reluctance and regret in Da Qiao's eyes when he first entered Xiangyang and fought with Liu Xie in the county guard hall! This kind of memory suddenly entangled Ma Chao's heart like a poisonous snake, biting the pain of his self-esteem: "Does it work?" ”

Ma Chao's voice was very low, and his face was ugly. Because he knew that the answer was actually obvious: Da Qiao knew that Ma Chao was returning today, but he didn't greet him like a sable cicada. This signal speaks for itself......

"Very effective," Diao Chan still had the same mechanical voice, even though the voice was still like a yellow oriole out of the valley, but it still easily broke Ma Chao's heart: "At this moment, she is serving Your Majesty in the county guard mansion......"

Ma Chao glanced up at Diao Chan, he knew that Diao Chan was not the kind of woman who chased the wind and shadows. Of course, it's not a woman who is so kind that she doesn't know how to take it. Therefore, even though Ma Chao's eyes suddenly ignited with a raging fire at this time, Diao Chan still looked at Ma Chao with her eyes that were as quiet as a clear spring.

When the fire burned rapidly on the clear spring, the undisturbed spring remained silent. After getting used to the fire like a galloping horse, Diao Chan felt that the fire suddenly turned into a warm morning sun, reflecting a little broken shadow on the clear spring, mottled beautiful and extremely dangerous.

In this way, Diao Chan looked at Ma Chao with a bright smile without warning, and there was a fatal killing intent hidden under the smile, and slowly spoke: "Whether it is like this or not, I just want to say that this guy Liu Xie has successfully angered me." And the woman of Big Joe ......"

Ma Chao didn't say how to deal with Da Qiao, but at this moment, Diao Chan suddenly felt her fear: facing her husband who had shared the bed for so many years, she felt a bitter anger for the first time!
